>> IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE MY PARENTS
ALWAYS SAY I CAME OUT OF THE
WOMB LIKE THIS SO I WOULD HAVE
TO SAY IT WASN’T DEVELOPED SO
MUCH I JUST WAS ONE OF US KIDS.
IS THAT A CHILD OR UPDATING
ADULT?
IS CONSTANTLY NEGOTIATING WITH
MY PARENTS, I ALWAYS WANTED TO
UNDERSTAND WHATEVER IT IS THEY
ASK, I WASN’T A KID WERE YOU
COULD SAY BECAUSE I SAID SO.
I WAS LIKE NO, I NEED TO
UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC HERE.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANTED
TO THINK CRITICALLY OF
EVERYTHING HAPPENING AND I SORT
OF GETZLAF THAT ATTITUDE YOUR
SCHOOL.
LITERALLY MY TEACHER FROM HIGH
SCHOOL WROTE TO ME AND SAID
THERE WAS ONE PERSON IN THE THAT
I THOUGHT WOULD BE DOING THIS,
IT WOULD BE YOU BECAUSE IF YOU
LET ME IT WAS CHALLENGING IN THE
WAY THAT I WAS JUST GOING WITH
IT, I JUST DEMANDED ANSWERS
ALWAYS AND I THINK IN TERMS OF
PUBLICITY ABOUT WHEN I WAS IN
HIGH SCHOOL, I WROTE ABOUT IN MY
BOOK I WENT THROUGH HATE CRIME
GENERATED PUBLICITY IN THE TOWN
BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR OF
CONNECTICUT SON WAS A PERSON
CHARGED, ONE OF THEM CHARGED
WITH HATE CRIME IT’S ONE THING I
HAD NO PUBLICITY PRIOR AND THEN
SUDDENLY THE ENTIRE TOWN WAS
DEBATING ME IT WAS HARD TO GO
THROUGH AS A KIT.
I WAS 16 OR 17 AND A WEIRD WAY,
IT WOKE ME UP TO A LOT OF THINGS
THINGS.
IT WAS FOUR YEARS ANOREXIA TO
KIND OF WAKE UP ONE DAY AND SAY
WAIT A SECOND, I WAS A KID
ADULTS WERE POLITICIZING THIS
THING THAT HAPPENED WAS PROBABLY
A GOOD LESSON TO LEARN WHEN I
WAS YOUNG.
I THINK GOD FOR IT NOW.
>> WAS UP PROCESS OF TRYING TO
RECOVER.
>> I WENT VERY THE OTHER WAY, I
DEVELOPED AN ATTITUDE FOR
EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING TO ME.
IT WAS HORRIBLE, IS PAINTED AS A
VICTIM, THIS IS A VICTIM, THIS
GIRL IS PUBLIC COMPANY NAACP GOT
INVOLVED AND THEY NEVER ONCE
SPOKE TO ME AND ASKED HOW I FELT
